Macaroni salad bowl with fried ham and egg
This shortcut bowl builds a complete dinner from a grocery shelf macaroni salad: the salad stays cold, a warm fried ham steak tops it, and a fried egg brings the whole plate together.

To buy
- 2 center-cut slices, about 6 ounces total ham steak
From your shelf
- one 16-ounce container classic macaroni salad with sweet pickle relish, diced celery & bell peppers, cl
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- 2 eggs
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Place the two ham steaks into the pan and cook until the edges brown, about two minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and crack both eggs into it side by side. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the yolks and cook until the whites are set and the edges brown, about three minutes, tilting the pan so the hot oil bathes the yolks.
- Divide the macaroni salad between two bowls. Lay one ham steak across each bowl and top with a fried egg, letting any oil drip from the skillet over the yolk.
Note Swap ham for thick-cut bacon or deli turkey if you prefer. Leftover macaroni salad keeps three days refrigerated. Serve with toast and a glass of iced tea or lemonade to round the plate.
